Hearthside Chat Questions!

Tha k you for everything. Your story made me soooooo happy and emotional. Love you all.

What was your favourite arc? And why is that one your favourite?

What are your top character moments for each other? We got moonshine moments (which make me weep forever) but I wanna hear some hardwon and bev moments too!!

Why is one big bed not on iTunes?

What happened to Ulfgar and Alonis post-final battle?

Hi Murph, are you planning to do anything differently to prepare for campaign 2? And for Emily, Jake, Caldwell, if you had to play one of the other PCs, who would it be?

Murph, now that you know how the players interact with each other and the content you creat for them as well as what their strengths as players are, are there new themes that you're excited about exploring in the new campaign? Will the next campaign still take place in Bahumia?

I'm glad everyone is doing the responsible thing and quarantining in this trying time, love from Australia, did my second listen through of everything during the lockdown. Just wondering if you're going to make campaign 2 be the same length as campaign 1 or shorter and give time to maybe have Emily, or Jake DM some stuff like Caldwell does for Trinyvale? Emily your DM session with Siobhan and Brennan was so good and would love more.

What is the fate of the mighty Yugo?

If Hardwon had died, and needed to have True Resurrection cast on him, which body would have he come back in?

For Murph, Were there any other people (from CH or otherwise) that you planned or attempted to have on as guest stars at any point in the campaign? If so, why didn’t it work out?

Late to the party but Murph would you ever consider doing “DM tutorials” for people? For pay of course, I think $50 first hour then $30 for the next hours. Where a few times a week you personally work one on one with DMs to help work on their campaign and planning

Please disclose the entire lineage/family tree of the Pebblepot clan.

How will you guys adjust in regards of reacurring themes or inside jokes of bahumia. I.e. one big bed or crick water, etc.

Release the god damn letters.

What do you guys see the Boobs doing 100 years from the end of the campaign?

Less of a question, more a request. For the next campaign could we include extra eps, or even roll into short rest, the conversations around leveling up!! Some of the conversations in this campaign where you guys talked about what new skills feats etc you were going to take we informative and soo funny. I, personally, would be really interested to get an insight as to why you choose what you choose. OK now a question: did you not include this stuff this time cause you thought it would be dull, or wanted to keep the supprise element!? Ps: you guys are awesome! Big love!!

Hey all thank you so much for the amazing story and taking on this most amazing ride with you all. A question for Murph - Whats the most surprisingly unexpected thing that each of the boobs did at various moments in the campaign and did you have to change anything majorly from what you had planned in your head realm?

What is each of your favorite moments from the campaign

#releasetheletters

Also #releasetheletters

If you could go back to the start would you still atempt the bullywug matting call?

First, thank you all so much for such an amazing campaign. You guys have been with me through so much, including a half marathon and all the training. You've deepened my love for D&D and I'm so grateful that you kept recording this. Now onto the questions! Murph- because the one Hells became the Ruby Dawn and is a place for people to go to repent, is there a chance that Thiala went there when she exploded in Dragonshine's belly? Moonshine - what did Thiala taste like? Also, do you regret taking counterspell at all? Hardwon - Where do you think you'll go when you die? Your dad is with Cord, your mom is in Shadowfell, and living at the crik they worship Melora. Do you feel a calling to any place in particular? Bev - now that Pelor has been restored and is surfing as he should be, will you become a paladin of his light again, or keep your oath to Melora? Also, did Bev move to the crik too? You guys are amazing, love you all. -Stephanie from Cleveland

Murph - before recoding the final episode, what did you feel were the odds that the Band is Boobs would lose?

What were each of your favourite cities/towns in Bahumia?

Release the letters

What was the impact of Thiala's armagedon on Bahumia's demographic? It feels like when launched most of the people on the planet would have died. Were Melora and Pelor able to bring the victims back? Did they bring back those who knelt to her as well?

To Caldwell: Do you think going through these trying times together will mean that Beverly and Erlin will be together forever, or do you think if they grow older there is a chance they will grow apart?

To all: Can you reveal anything about the next campaign? What races/classes would you like to play? What kind of new world will we find ourselves in?

Question for Jake: as a first time player, what would you say was the most difficult part of learning the craft?

What has been your biggest rise and biggest thorn of the campaign? I loe this podcast so much and I cant wait to see what you do next.

Jake. please. read the letter. moonshine/hardwon is such a bit of sweetness, because neither made the story about that. (but this will make for a lovely re-listen, with their quiet story peeking through!) anyway, the letter, please 💛

Release the letter

Please post an animal crossing house tour

Since this is the sister-show of Dimension20, is there a chance of doing a crossover episode? Gilear could get a makeover from Moonshine and Bev while Hardwon substitutes for the Bad Kids

#releasetheletter

I need.. to hear the letters! #RELEASETHELETTERS please c:

Looking back in retrospect, who was each player's ultimate favourite NPC / DMPC?

What happened to STARSPAWN ? Did all of them get destroyed because they bend the knee to the light or will we see them appear in the next campaign?

aweee shucks I missed the Q times :(

HOW THE HELL can I watch hot date please I don’t have cable send me help I will take a DVD box set

#releasetheletter !!

What would it take for Jake to #releasetheletter?

Have y’all taken “inventory” of the Bag of Holding recently? What’s going on in there?

When Thiala first appeared she had a hammer and a shield which are normal Cleric weapons... in the final fight she had two swords, which are not normal Cleric weapons (in game or historically as clergy were banned from using blades)... was this an intentional change to show Thiala had fallen so far off the righteous path or just a happy accident?

We need to know Hardwon's letter. I will lose it if we don't.

What happened with ulfgar and ilanis?

Jake and Emily, what was your opinion of the hardshine ship? It seemed like a possibility at the end there, and I just wanted your thoughts...also JAKE HOW MUCH DO I NEED TO PLEDGE FOR YOU TO READ HARDWONS LETTER TO MOONSHINE GOD DAMMIT!

What happened to HARDJUAN?

What's Cran and Derlins last name?

If the Boobs were pro wrestlers, what would their names be?

Are you guys going to finally finish SONIC gamebook?!?! Please I need to know how it ends😭

One is hardwons letter? And the other is how many people and who exactly dod you guys get to sing one big bed?

Favorite nat 20’s and nat 1’s.

What Lord of the rings characters would the boobs correspond to?

How do you feel about Critical Role and would you like to possibly have Matt Mercer or any one from that group be a guest in future episodes?

At what moment did this podcast change from a fun thing you guys do together into something truly special for you guys?

To the whole BOB - did you have characters rolled in case of death, and if you did who were they?

Did Malora and Tulane ever date or have a romantic relationship? ps love the pod and you guys

Jake, with the new Oath of Heroism Paladin coming out the new source book Mythic Odysseys of Theros, would you consider payinga Paladin. I remember reading about this subclass on Unearthed Arcana and was super excited by it. I really liked this section from the description "You are not a reluctant hero, but one who fully embraces the idea that great deeds are yours to achieve. You train diligently, sculpting your body and refining your skills so you’re ready when destiny calls." I want tobe an Aasimar one and basically role play as the Disney film's Hercules

Also, did you have a story prepared if the boobs lost?

What happened to all the people who bowed? Are they still in their “heaven”?

Murph, do you ever find listening to your wife (in character of course) flirt not just with a load of random creations but also friend sat at the same table as you? Genuinely always wondered. LOVED the singing at the end of the final episode; utterly brilliant by all involved.

Man... I missed it... But if your still going here is my question. Due to the aftermath of the cataclysm. Is it expected there might be new places to explore due to the ammount of shifting the plane did? I bet there are plenty of new mountains, valleys, rivers lakes and even islands. But I just want to know?

What happened to the followers who bent the knee to Theola? :O

First, thank you all so much for such an amazing campaign. You guys have been with me through so much, including a half marathon and all the training. You've deepened my love for D&D and I'm so grateful that you kept recording this. Now onto the questions! Murph- because the one Hells became the Ruby Dawn and is a place for people to go to repent, is there a chance that Thiala went there when she exploded in Dragonshine's belly? Moonshine - what did Thiala taste like? Also, do you regret taking counterspell at all? Hardwon - Where do you think you'll go when you die? Your dad is with Cord, your mom is in Shadowfell, and living at the crik they worship Melora. Do you feel a calling to any place in particular? Bev - now that Pelor has been restored and is surfing as he should be, will you become a paladin of his light again, or keep your oath to Melora? Also, did Bev move to the crik too? You guys are amazing, love you all. -Stephanie from Cleveland

Murph, I love all the encounters you made where killing everything wasn't the path forward. What factors do you consider when creating an encounter that involves combat but the win condition doesn't involve beating the opponent (Ex. the graveyard fight in the fey arc with the gravestones).

What other boon from another class were you tempted to take but ended up not taking?

Read us the letter!

What was something that the characters missed that you were most excited for Murph? Also what was your personal biggest ‘screw up’. Thank you guys for an awesome 100 episodes and to many more!

Murph how did you come up with Balnors story line? The reveal episode with Alanis is still one of my favorites. Details about your writing process in general would be cool to hear about. Thanks!

Just for fun can you dissect the 297 damage when Hardwon hit Thiala?

Do Lucanus and Meemaw ever get back together?

How many questions will you answer?

For each of you: What is one thing each of you wish you had done differently at some point in the campaign?

Will the next campaign still take place in Bahumia?

No question, just saying Emily's music is awesome.

During the finale you called moonshine the second coming of Merribell (min 56 pt2). Was that canonically saying moonshine is her daughter or just a figure of speech?

For the whole cast (even Murph if he thinks of ajythinf fun). If The Watchman were still alive or someone had the same ability has he to answer any 1 question, what question would you ask now at the end of the campaign?

Hey y’all! For each of you, what was your characters biggest “Oh shit” moment? Like the moment that had you completely shocked and surprised both in and out of character. Love the pod, and can’t wait to hear more from all y’all!

All, are there any story pieces you wish you could revisit or would have expanded on but the nature of the show and campaign moving along means that opportunity passed?

Are there any references/inside jokes that you all share outside of the game?

For Emily, did you ever consider Pendergreens as having the potential to become something more than a friend at any point in the campaign? Thank you all for an amazing two-year story. My now level-3 Sorcerer and our new campaign are a direct result of this podcast.

Jake - I've been relistening to the podcast and you've gone back and forth with what you've wanted to do were Hard-won to die. Did you think of where you wanted to go if Hard-won had died in the finale if Murph gave you the option?

What would have happened to Pawpaw if Moonshine had died in the final battle, and Emily did you have anything written in your contingency letter about Pawpaw? (assuming you wrote one like Jake did, also #ReleaseTheLetter)

Throughout the campaign, we all watched Moonshine, Bev, and Harwon develop as characters and grow in truly incredible ways (thank you so much for that, by the way). How do you each feel that you've grown over the course of the campaign? What kind of changes/growths have you noticed in one another, having spent so much time working/playing together? How have your relationships changed over this time? Thank you, and LOVE Y'ALL so much!

A meta question: how significant has NADDPOD being on your lives? Do any of you consider it the main thing that you "do"? How has it affected your other work?

Any plans on having more players in season 2?

Murph, does Prime Behumia hve a Balnor?

Murph, seeing as Brennan is your self professed DM daddy, were there ever any campaign ideas or story questions you ever ran by him to get ideas or opinions other than Dead Eye's arch?

Jake, way way way down the line and Hardwon kicks the bucket where does he choose to go? The Forge? Shadowfell? This extends to the rest of you as well.

If the boobs had died, would the remaining powerful people in bahumia been able to come together and defeat thiala? If so, who would be on that new team?

Murph, are there any Pelor facts we never got?

Murph, what was your rea action to reviving Pelor and promoting the Dusk Mother? Why did you guys make those decisions?

What made you choose your particular background stories for characters and looking back at that first arc, do you think the Band of Boobs would end up where they did in the end?

Was there ever any plans to bring Dead Eye back in a different realm if Brennan was available, or was Dead Eyes send off always the end? Also can we expect to see some familiar guests join next campaign as new characters or do you think guests will be all new people?

What’s your favorite Balnor memory?

1. Will Balnor retain his memories when he's brought back to his time line and if so, what level will he be? If he's staying his current level and keeps his memories do you think Balnor will struggle finding his place in his family and readjusting to his time line now being so powerful and having so much knowledge about the world? 2. For the whole cast, who is your favorite character that maybe didn't get as much air time, and for Murph, what NPC really caught on that surprised you the most? 3. Murph, if Balnor had died a few episodes ago and wasn't brought back by Beverly, do you think someone else would have stepped up to aid them in the final battle? And would Balnor have still been allowed to go back to his time line if one or more of the band of boobs had died permanently in that final battle or would that have been too many people leaving at once?

What does it feel like to have say goodbye to all the characters you have met in the campaign. Bonus question do can we get some info on campaign 2?

Murph- Were there any other arcs you had planned but never got to?

Very important question: If u had a pet zard, what type of zard would u have and what would you name it?

WHAT DID HARDWONS LETTER TO MOONSHINE SAY?!?

Hey gang, thanks for the killer finale! Cant wait for campeign 2. Anyways, in retrospect what was each of yalls favorite bits from campeign 1?

Hey Boobs, This question is a little bit of a downer, but i am curious what you all think. Given the deep and complex relationship between Hardwon and Moonsine, do you think that it would be difficult or intimidating for other people to try having a romantic relation with either of them? Especially considering they would be living at the Crick for the foreseeable future.

If your characters each had a sibling, what would their character sheet be like?

What affect do you think that Balnor had on all of the boobs beyond just helping them in battle and holding their bags character development wise? It seems like in the Beginning Balnor seemed to be just a fun character with no real connection to the plot. Do you think there was any character development that could not/would not have happened if Balnor was not drawn from the deck?

Emily, what program(s) do you use to make the music for the pod!? I’ve always been curious

Could you guys record your Campaign 2 Session 0 or character creation process for a mixed bag or something? I'd love to hear inside the minds of the geniuses :)

What is one thing you wish you could have done in this campaign but didn't get a chance?

Firstly, thank you for creating this beautiful show. You guys have got me through some tough times. I have a question about our favourite gay disaster and one for Murph and Caldwell as DMs. 1) any hints on what may be in the future for bev and irlen?? And 2) Do you guys have any tips or advice for new DMs? I have high expectations of myself and I’m starting a campaign for my family who think I am master of d&d (I truly am not) thanks guys!

Will we ever get to see a one shot where Brian plays Balnor, attempting to save his village, and Emily, Jake and Caldwell team up to DM the game and play Winter Court characters who have come to destroy it?

Thiala vs. The Goat Fiend from Pandemonium, The Undead Terrasque, The Husk Monster from the 7th level of Hell, and Yanoba. Who wins?

What themes did you enjoy exploring in this campaign? What themes do you hope to dive into in the next campaign?

Which of the "saga"s you guys have done was you favourite?

If you could actually visit anywhere in Bahumia/other planes where would you go?

3 questions for you wonderful performers!! Would you ever consider a 1 shot where everyone switches characters? Also, when can we see Amir again? Last but not least, would you ever consider adding a 4th player to the party?

With Thiala seemingly fused with Alanis and Ulfgar in the final battle, is there a timeline that exists where the Boobs could have appealed to the other two to end the final battle diplomatically, and how would a potentially reformed Thiala have affected the post-game?

Emily, so to start this off I just wanted to say that I added MoonShine into my Tyranny of dragons campaign (yes she is a dragon rider) for my Fungal Druid. Just thought I would share that, anyways what was wildest theory you had for any fight that you thought could have worked?

Can we have a twenty year out update on the boobs?

Caldwell, have you considered playing a bard next campaign? I would love to hear more songs and ballads.

Will the Boobs return for a live show or mixed bag while the new campaign is being established?

What did Hardwon end up doing with his hammer? Did he divide it into three and give them back? Did he give the one God Hammer to one of the kings? Or did he just keep it?

What do you think Hardwon's future is like once he settles down at the Crick? Will he have a family of his own, or just enjoy being part of the big Crick family?

Will there be more or less guests on campaign 2, or the same amount and who is everyone's realistic dream quest (that hasn't already been on the pod)?

Thank you all so much for bringing us on this journey with you, and for the obvious love and detail you put into this show. My question is: Is there a class or subclass that each of you would be LEAST interested in playing one day, for whatever reason? Maybe it just doesn’t mesh with your personal playing style? Thank you!

Do you guys have a favorite arc? Galaderon might be mine, but I have loved the podcast throughout. The campaign as a whole has brought me a lot of joy the past few years, thank you all for your wonderful characters and amazing storytelling!

So no one is gonna talk about the missed Death Ward ? You biffed it on this one !

Why did everyone create their characters the way they did? And did they become what they expected?

What happened to all the people that bent the knee to Thaila? Are they still chilling in “heaven” with Pelor?

What happened to Thiala's followers who were in Elysium?

Question for Murph, what’s the biggest story thread or detail the BoB never stumbled upon? Any Easter eggs in your notes that never got a chance to be used?

What risks or opportunities do you think could arise as a result of the Band of Boobs's actions? I'm thinking of such actions as ripping open the Gash, having installed rulers on various planes, Pelor's plane having no ruler at all, etc.

What's your biggest thorn of the whole campaign?

#RELEASETHELETTER

How has the public opinion changed of the 3 legendary heroes? Are the boobs seen as on the same level as Alanis and Ulfgar in regards to legend status?

I’d like to imagine the world where you redo the final battle but Murph reincarnated Yugo instead of Galad, that’s not a question but I thought y’all might enjoy that visual

To everyone: Top 5 favorite quotes from the series?

What was your inspiration to write the campaign story line?

What was the end for Bev senior? Did he and Martha get back together so they could be a happy family again?

also, what's one moment from the early campaign you all thought was going to be more important than it ended up being? (alternatively, what was your favorite throwaway line?)

hey murph just like what the fuck

How would the campaign have ended in the event of a total party kill?

Would you consider making your rendition of the "We are We are, The Youth of the Nation" full song? Thank you for all you do! P.S. WHAT WAS IN HARDWON'S LETTER!?

Hey, love the show, thank you for all of the great times. I have a question for everyone, what was your all time favourite villain and why was it Gunkbog?

Are the any jokes or quips you want to make sure get there way into campaign 2? (Ex: one big bed, paw paw’s law firm)

Question for everyone! In the whole campaign what was everyone's favorite epic moment? Mine is Hardwon saving Balnor from the Tarrasque!

Cooter update? Also, are there any established regions of Bahumia that haven't been explored in-game?

What happened to Jorris' theives guild?

Hey Emily, the music for campaign 1 is fantastic and helps shape the world and tone for Bahumia. Since campaign 2 is going to be in the same world, do you envision having similar vibes or changing the aesthetic/tone moving forward?

Are there any loose ends that you wish had been tied up?

So what happened to all the chosen who thiala killed? Are they in ruby dawn or were they obliterated?

Why didn’t Moonshine ever cast Awaken on PawPaw?

Where can we get that final one big bed song cause I need that in my life and possibly my ring tone.

Is there a chance that the new characters in campaign 2 will meet Hardwon, Bev, and Moonshine?

How did the band of boobs break the cycle? With Melora, Telaine, Aryox; Marabelle, Ol’ Cobb, Jolene; Alanis, Ulfgar, Thiala all failing, what was it that made them different? Was it the support they got through their journey (Deadeye, Mavrus, etc) or were they just more powerful than the other groups?

This may have been asked or not, but any guest characters you wish you could have brought back for the final battle or actors you wanted to have come on and make a guest appearance but didn't have time?

A long time ago I asked a question regarding a debate a friend and I were having over Ol’ cobb vs Balnor. I need you guys to know that Balnor has captured my heart since then and that final letter mended the rift between me and my friend. He’s our Dad and he’s coming back home goddamnit.

Murph, most of the monsters you use seem to be right out of the Monster Manual, Tome of Beasts etc. (or re-skinned versions). How much do you try and find monsters that will fit the setting the story is in and how much do you build encounters around wanting to use a particular cool monster. Also would you consider departing from the manuals more and inventing your own monsters in future so that they and their abilities are complete surprises to the players and listeners?

Hey guys, i would love to know how you feel your experience/way of playing dnd has evolved playong this mega campaign upto level 20. Is there anything that has really surprised you or changed how you would approach future compaigns?

What was Thiala’s max HP in the final battle? I couldn’t believe how much Hardwon especially was hitting her for every round.

At what point, if any, did y’all feel the most worried about failure in the final battle?

Are Lou Wilson and Ally Beardsley gonna be guests in campaign 2? I really hope so! Ps you guys are awesome!

Murph how much pressure did you feel to deliver at the end what were you most worried about?

When did you all make the change from comedy podcast to really caring about your characters and seeing them as a whole thing on their own?

Where was Ren during the final battle and how much did he shit his pants?

Murph, how many possible endings did you plan? Obviously there's winning and losing, but were there any other possibilities you planned for? Did you plan anything for if the boobs actually decide to work with Thiala? What did the resolution look like if the Boobsbo failed in defeating Thiala? Big fan. The song you guys since the CollegeHumor days. Thank you for this incredible story and experience. Can't wait for the next one!

When did you guys realize that you were creating something so special that would not only be received well by fans but also change the scope of so many others' D&D campaigns/careers? I guess you could say that right off the bat we were promised a podcast that was Not Another D&D Podcast but when did it sink in as the creators that your work was going to be friggin revered? From my listenings I always find episode 13 is the turning point in both the sincerity and stakes of the campaign but I certainly want to know when the podcast really started living up to it's full potential in your opinions?

What were your favorite locations in the Campaign? Aka Galaderon, Frostwind, the Faewild, 9/1-Hells, etc.

For murph. Whats your process of reskinning characters for encounters and how do you choose what abilities to take from other sources to keep it balanced?

What patreon tier do we have to be to hear the Hardwon letter? #relasethelettercut

I'd like to know more from Emily about Moonshine's decision to become a gold dragon to defeat Thiala. Was it her plan all along? I heard the reaction that the other BoBs had to her transformation, but would like to hear more about Jake and Caldwell's reaction, as well as Murph's! Thank you so much for going through with the rest of the campaign, btw. I heard on the last Short Rest that you were considering taking a hiatus during the lockdown, and I truly don't know what I would have done these last couple of months without your art. xo

How much of the next campaign is already prepared? Does Murph already have a world set, and are the new characters already in development? Yes or no is fine if y'all don't want to give any details.

For murph. Have you decided on what campaign 2 will be and what are the chances it will be set in balnors reality?

Will Jake/Caldwell ever go on dimension 20?

What was in the letter to moonshine.

What are the chances that Murph will pull a "every video game sequel ever" move and sap the boobs of their power and have them return campaign 2?! What are the chances? Please? I'm not ready to let the boobs go!

For everyone: Out of the four times you've killed Galad (Galaderon, Crickmas Special, Shadowfell, and Finale) which was your favorite / the most satisfying?

Thank all of you so much!! I laughed and cried and loved it. To all: Whats your favorite quote from the series? To quote the frost darwfs: "Fuck you, I love you"

Looking back, what would you’re current characters tell themselves if they could teleport to the failed Jamborine? (Back at the beginning)

What will Hardwon do in relation to the dwarves? It sounds like he's chosen the quiet life but is still in possession of the gods hammer. Will Hardwon return the hammer to the leaders of the dwarves, or will he keep it or a piece of it and eventually assume a form of leadership for himself?

Can we get a post credits scene with galad and the other baddies in Ruby dawn rehab?

What was everyone's second choices for abilities given by the divine heart?

As a DM who struggles with encounter design, I'm super curious how Murph designs his fights and how the philosophy might differ from a home campaign where the hour or so time slot is a constraint on how the story is told. I was inspired by Murph to DM for the first time, myself and I am super curious about a peek behind the screen at his design process. Is this cool or would this be giving away the special sauce recipe?

Thank you all so much for this story. I came across NADDPOD randomly, and fell in love from the first episode! Murph, were the chosen and Thiala always meant to be a villain? I believe you've talked about what roles you wanted the legendary hero's to play vaguely in the short rest, but was there ever a chance of Thiala being brought back from the goal she set for herself or was her heart and mind set already by the time the PC's ever saw her?

Nipple armour, yes or no?

Who will be the next MeMaw of the Crick after Jolene? Or will the Crick not have a MeMaw in the same way anymore?

Have you guys considered releasing your final character sheets? Maybe a charity auction for covid relief where folks have the opportunity to bid on them? Totally understand that they're sentimental and might be something you want to keep, but couldn't resist throwing it out there as I'd love to add more to my ever-growing NADDPOD framed collection of maps, posters, and prints...

Would Jake ever consider playing with different people, such as a Dimension 20 Side Quest?!

Murph, were there any story arcs or locations that never made it into the campaign? And can you share them with us, or are they going into campaign #2?

Will Bev and Erlin get extra credit for saving the world if/when they go back to school?

Starspawn?

Jake- you gotta read the letter! #releasetheletter

Which characters are colorblind and why?

Murph, how much of the campaign did you have planned out when you first started? And if it was all planned from the beginning, how on earth did you do that? Love the show and love you guys!

In this epic story full of amazing set pieces, plot threads, and unforgettable moments; What single moment, from the entire campaign, will you never forget? For me, I will always remember Thiala blacking out the sky and appearing to Galaderon. All while The Chosen bore down on the doors of Pelors temple, as the crew join together in prayer to send the Green Knights to the Fey Wild. One of the most visceral moments of storytelling I've ever experienced. You guys for putting together such an amazing story and experience.

With the campaign finished, is there a chance that you will release your dm notes as a book? With all those amazing stories and creatures?

Will there be any kind of highlight reel type content with all the best stuff from the campaign? I would love to have a super cut of all the stuff from "Watch this" to "....................chicken" and all the other great stuff.

To Caldwell- what makes you such a wholesome person/ player. Is that how you played Beverly, or is that how you are? I strive to see the good in the world as Beverly does, and I wanted to know what inspiration you drew to do so. Thank you

Would you guys ever consider making the first campaign into a graphing novel?

This podcast was my introduction to DnD and after sode 100 it would be easy to forget that it was Jake's too! Not so much a question but I'd just like to hear Jake riff on his journey throughout the podcast because his growing attachment to Hardwon's story as a new player was such a special element alongside the more experienced boobs

Where do you see the band of boobs 50 or 100 years from the end of the campaign? Also, if you could have anyone be a guest pc for campaign two/one shots, who would you want to play? (Besides yoga with Adriene of course)

Would you ever consider doing a battle one-shot where the Boobs all face off against potential dark counterparts of themselves? Moonshine v. The Queen of Hell, Hardwon v. Vampire Lord Stormborn, and Bev v. Thiala Bound Toegold.

Now that the campaigns over can you spill on Balnor's ancestors. My own head cannon was Derlin and Cran's great grandson or a alternate Bev senior second family descendant.

To Murph, how much did you struggle with your competing interests - the desire to provide a tense final battle leaving the audience with the impression that the boobs could have lost (also not getting womped) vs a narratively satisfying ending to the first campaign?

What happened to Alanis and Ulfgar after the final battle with Thiala?

Thank you all for a great campaign... I kinda stumbled in half way through but still enjoyed it. My question is are you guys thinking about doing a post-campaign episode and if not what do you think your characters will be doing now that they have saved Bahumia?

Question for Murph: Were there any locations in Bahumia that you had fleshed out for the crew that they never got to? Also favorite location that you built?

How is Ryan the Ram doing?

If we ever return to Kongo Bongo Island, will it be with the Boobs or whoever our new band of heros will be?

Two q’s first off, Jake, what’s in the letter!! Second q is to everyone, what was your favorite banter in a fight individually

What was in Harswon's letter?!?!

sort of a meta podcast question. It seems like Murph and Emily (composing music) on the whole does more work in general towards the podcast weekly. Does your guys revenue get split equally or does it account for this? do you all have seperate shares in the podcast? who owns the podcast? Not looking for any details you guys are unwilling to share just interested on how something like this works

With campaign one done, I've gotta ask. First. How were the Galaderon royal family killed? Did any survive? Second, did the high elven ex-king bend the knee or is he still alive?

Shit there's already like 700 questions, haha. Well if anyone looks down this far: DO ULFGAR AND ALANNIS HOOK UP?!? Please, for the sake of our sanity, we must know.

Jake, what was in that letter? What was in there, Jake?! Tell us!

Going into the second campaign, do you feel like you have learned anything from the first campaign that would make you make different choices (about role play, world building, character design, anything) than you would have when you first started this podcast?

Thank you all for an incredible campaign. Can you guys talk about how you've grown as DnD players and DMs, or about how your view of the game has changed after seeing such an epic story through to the end?

Loved the winter solstice one shot, any chance of more Emily DM sessions, or perhaps Jake giving it a bash? Great job with the finale, looking forward to more Trinyvale and campaign 2.

If all the boobs died in their battle with thiala, what would have happened to bahumia?

Which part of the whole campaign do you wish you could go back to/revisit the most?

How many american dollars do I need to vemno Jake personally to get him to read the contingency letter?

Also, #releasetheletter again.

Band, What is your head canon for the Band of the next couple thousand years? That would include hardwon's death but with Bev and Moonshine aging slowed to a near stop, what do they do with that time? Also, what does Hardwon do when he's not at his stump for the rest of his years?

Hi guys, thank you for an absolutely deadly conclusion to campaign one! My question is: How does running a campaign with three PCs compare to DMing for a larger party? Is it easier to give people their own moments or more difficult because you have less PC stories to explore? Also how does the size of the party affect designing combat encounters?

In the past there has been mention of instances where the roleplay of your characters has affected things you've said or how you've perceived situations in real life. After playing these characters for so long, are there aspects of them that have become more permanent fixtures in what you do/say/think in your everyday lives? Additionally, I just want to thank y'all for all the time, effort, and creativity that you poured into this show. This was a labor of love and it shows through with the consistently amazing episodes that have been put out over the years.

If Melora had died and Pelor didn't come back, did Bev have a backup 3rd god to get his powers from?

Murph, Can you spill the Theala stats in both forms? you said she was modeled after a few different monsters and wanted to know how crazy of a monster she ended up being.

Every player gets one wish spell to change one event they AS A PLAYER feel like they chose wrong one. (No failed dice rolls) What, if anything, would the party do different as players?

How incredible is the character of Balnor to the cast knowing that he was a random luck pull on the deck of many things, an item commonly known as a campaign ender?

I've been curious about subtle instances like when we first see Thiala, Ulfgar and Alanis reunited for the first time (at the Astral Keep), or when Hardwon has the flashback to holding the Irondeep Kingshammer (making him, at that point, the first person to wield all three). Are these big moments that Murph is cognizant of and plans far in advance, or does the significance not even occur to him in the moment?

#releasetheletter

#releasetheletter

What was the biggest thing you weren't prepared for (both for Murph and everyone else)?

#releasetheletter

i understood that they weren't valuable at all and that's why alanis told moonshine to just keep them but she didn't want to hurt her feelings

Are you guys gonna be expanding Bahumia's lore any further? Like, detailing the new cities and whatnot? I adore the setting, and even made my own offshoot setting that takes place across the Sea from Bahumia solely because I want to bring Crick elves and your different types of dwarf into my world :') love you guys and thank you for being my reason to get back into ttrpgs over a year ago!!!

Was there any loose ends Murph didnt get to tie up? Having the trolls in the fight in Hell was inspired- was there anything Murph didn't get to do that was like that?

If you were to enter a team of NPCs into a Bahumia Battle of the Bands competition, who would you pick and what would they play?

With all this time on our hands, it's hard to find things to keep us occupied. What are some of your favorite fantasy novels, or for Murph, things that influenced the Bahumia campaign or the upcoming one?

I forgot about whether this question had been answered before, but what's the deal with the coral earrings from the elemental plane? When Moonshine tried to make spell materials/give it away, I remembered Alanis told her to keep it, because it's quite special? But aside from the question, thank you once again for everything in Bahumia, guys. A beautiful work from a beautiful collaboration of beautiful people. Hope you guys continue to have fun while creating these contents for us.

Now that the band of boobs adventure has been concluded are you guys still thinking of doing a tomb of horrors run with them? I for one would be very interested to watch that

G’day from Australia! Thank you all for giving us two years of this beautiful rich, funny and meaningful narrative! Murph, how much of the ending is where you had planned to be, and what saga of the story was the most surprising to go down?

The song “Armor” by Sara Bareilles gives me Strong moonshine vibes, what songs do you think represent each of your characters

Question to everyone; if you could have one ideal guest on the show, either in the first campaign or any upcoming ones, who would you pick?

marry, fuck, kill rank the following powerful women of these planes: Tulane of Dragonopolis (does this have an official name?), Lydia Stormborn of Shadowfell, The Dusk Mother of the Red Dawn

Not really a question but wanted to say thank you for an amazing show and all the work and love you put into it.

How did Caldwell/Bev feel about exposing Erlan to the cursed sword?

How do you feel your characters and experiences in the campaign have influenced you as a person now that 100 'sodes are up? Has there been anything you've noticed?

Were there any magical items that were your favorite or wish you used more or just got to have?

At what point in the campaign did you really start to feel like your characters clicked? I've had campaigns that fizzled because this didn't happen, but also campaigns where it happened first session. You guys all play so beautifully together!

Murph, Dungeon Daddy question. How much world lore prep did you do before and throughout the campaign? And how far ahead of the players were you prepped? Like obviously you'd fleshed out the lore for the Legendary Heroes and Il-sed prior to starting the main campaign , but there was a lot of background world-lore like the Giant Wars and the city of Azmodia that seemed like it sort of came up organically as the players discovered it.

What have you all learned from your characters (or NPCs) that will change how you play in future campaigns?

When will you release the Letter Cut?!?

Did deadeye's soul get allowed into malora's domain

Murph, did you have an alternative ending completely written up in case of TPK? It was getting pretty close there for a time. Are there any details of that ending that you are willing to share?

Hello everyone, great finale, had to fight the years. My question, who was your favourite villain? And Murphy who was the best villain to play?

What was Hardwons letter to moonshine?

Hey gang! My question is what will you miss the most about playing as each of your amazing characters? This includes campaign specific NPCs for Murph. All of you are the best!

In a movie/tv version of the campaign, what would your fan casts be?

Not a question and more just a cry for Jake to #releasetheletter

First of all this is definitely my favorite dnd podcast by far, great job everyone. Murph were you prepared to do a total party kill if Thiala somehow dominated or did you have backup plans to somehow save them? Also, is there any chance of getting Jake to be a DM in a one shot? Maybe make it gritty in a Game of Thrones style.

#releasetheletter

Updates on the elf waterpark?

#Releasetheletter !

For Jake. will we ever see the letter to moonshine!!??

Murph, are there any story ideas/ plot points you had for the campaign early on that you didn’t end up using?

What classes and/or roles are the Boobs eyeing up for next campaign? It would be hilarious to see Jake as the healer, Caldwell as the unscrupulous skill monkey, and Emily the meathead tank

Were the hollow Goddies nerfed at all? We’re you (murph) worried about a tpk against the tarrasque?

Emily and Jake, are you familiar with the term queerplatonic relationship and have you considered this for Moonshine and Hardwon's relationship? it seems to fit really well with how you described it in the ep 99 short rest

Also, #releasetheletter!!!

Are there other places in Bahumia that we’re not explored? Any other continents or did campaign 1 pretty much go everywhere?

CAN WE SEE THE CHARACTER SHEETS?!?!? I WANNA SEE ALL THE COOL STUFF THEY HAD AND WHAT EVERYTHING THEY HAD DOES!!!

For Jake: if I remember correctly this was your first TTRPG campaign, so did you have a moment where you thought "hell yeah I love this game" or "now I know why everyone loves this"?

Will/Can there be a RP one shot with the boobs just interacting with beloved npc's after thiala?

For Murph, what works of fantasy and other media helped inspire you as you built the world of Bahumia? Was there any other works of fantasy and fiction that you wish you could have incorporated into the world but never had a chance?

What are some of your favorite pivotal moments for your characters? I always think about how DeadEye changed Moonshine's view of crick elves as well as how to think about strategy and maxing damage in combat encounters

Just wanted to say thank you! Also murph will you still be our dm next campaign or will someone else!?

Didn't you guys have a troll plant in your inventory from the Faerie Tale saga? Were there more items that the Boobs had collected throughout the campaign that you wanted to use but didn't?

For Murph, how do you balance your desire for the PCs to do well with having the NPCs you created do well? Do you have a preference for how things will go in an encounter or are you able to just go with the flow of whatever happens?

Did y'all ever think Moonshine and Hardwon would have sex? Moonshine's character definitely seemed like someone who would do it with Hardwon as a friend, just to get him to stop having to pretend that he's had sex a bunch.

What was everyone's favorite story arc? #ReleaseTheLetter

Murph, in wanting to move to low magic is of the future for the next campaign what ways do you imagine the stakes can be raised and allow players to be as creative. Feels kind of hard to have moments equal to a motorcycle jump over trolls in hell or flying berserker pirate elephant steeds. When you say low magic do you mean magic is not that powerful and abundant or magic is just as powerful but much more rare?

For murph, any chance we can get a peak behind the screen at your notes? Im a DM myself but im always interested in what other dms notes look like. How much they prepare and how much they make up on the spot.

Hardwon's damage output was obviously insane in the last fight. I was floored when it happened, and I know there was an off-mic discussion to make sure it was legit. Without getting too into it, can you let us know what kind of damage Hardwon does with his Godshammer on a single, normal attack? Thanks!

Top goofs of the campaign? I always think back to Timmy Tuna singing in the bag "If I flay here" on constant repeat and cant help laugh

Have you decided whether campaign 2 is going to be in Bahumia or another world? Also Murph, I always wanted to know why we didn't hear more about The Platinum Dragon since the world is seemingly named for them!

#ReleaseTheLetter

Did any of you guys consider giving the two divine hearts to Ulfgar and Alanis?

What exactly happened to all those who bent the knee now that Thiala is defeated?

Hey gang! Loved the finale and the whole campaign! It inspired me to start my own homebrew campaign and run for my friends, and it's been so fun. Question for Daddy Murph: Do you have an epilogue for Ren? Does he just continue to be rich and never learn his lesson?

Holy questions Batman! This is a random one, but will some of the Patreon names change with the new campaign?

For each of you, if you had to do a side campaign with any of 3 Non-Player characters from the campaign, who would it be and what do you think your side quest objective would entail? (Also this was my first introduction to D&D and I have to say you guys made it really entertaining! You kept me entertained this past year through a move across the country and then directly into quarantine with a toddler!)

Murph. Were there any monsters in the sourcebooks you found that you really wanted to include but didn’t get a chance to? And what sourcebooks did you find yourself gravitating to for monsters and stat blocks?

Did you guys have a favorite saga throughout the whole length of the podcast? Like Tales from the Crick versus Hellfire Chronicles etc.? What about a favorite guest saga?

Two questions for Hardwon, (1) What are Hardwon's plans for the God's Hammer and the three Dwarven kingdoms? (2) Is Hardwon content with his the new body, or does he desire to gain back his original body (i.e.; wish spell)?

I think we all love the witch's game that gave us ".....chicken," but I have to know: what would have happened if the Band of Boobs had totally beefed it instead? The consequences of a body swap with a witch sounded pretty dire!

Do you plan on doing a watch party for campaign 2 episode 1? I can't wait to hear your wonderful new characters!

What are some of your favorite puzzle challenges from the campaign? Mine will always be the FeyWild shrinking Hardwon!

I've been relistening to the early arcs and I am astonished at how similar and how different the characters all are from beginning the end. I have really enjoyed the organic growth - the fungi spread for sure! My question is two fold; 1 - as Players, did your original vision of your character come out in storytelling like you expected? By what story arc did you feel you really "knew" your character? And 2- as Characters, what events do you believe changed them the most, and which events made them double down on their own truths?

We all know the impact that the characters have had on the campaign, but what do you think your character would want to be remembered for?

What are the Frostwind Dwarves going to make out of the tarrasque corpse?

What was the most influential thing about d&d that you learned during this campaign?

If you had to fight any non-pebblepot character in real life, who would you choose?

How did you create your character concepts? How have they changed over the campaign?

Jake, how does it feel to evolve from never having played dnd to *this*?

Emily, how did you choose your druid spells, how often did you change them up, and what was your general strategy for them? (Damage, area control, support) And how did your process change throughout the campaign?

Jake, given how well things worked out with reincarnation, how worried were you for the future of Hardwon during the ritual?

If your characters now met a young adventurer that reminded them of themselves when they were starting out, what advice would they give them??

Just started DMing over Zoom during quarantine and am having a blast! Thank you so much for the encouragement in getting started. This and D20 has really boosted my confidence in DMing! Was relistening to old Mixed Bags and you guys gave a great tip for puzzles and I stole the elemental chaos candle puzzle and it made my players night? Any more advice on creating puzzles for players? Any tips to go about building your own? What makes a good puzzle?

Is there any possibility of a Dimension 20 - Naddpod crossover episode?

For Murph: what are your favorite non-canonical Dungeons and Dragons resources? I know you have mentioned Kobold press but would love to know more about your toolkit. Thanks for being so dang inspiring, I have known few finales so satisfying.

How do you guys view creating your next characters? Do you feel pressure to make something completely different or even the opposite for the next campaign or are there things that you think will carry over?

Release... the letter

How does the merger between the one hells and shadowfell work?

(For the sake of the Discord) Gunther and Red: Murph, are they husbands? (Similar vein) Tulane and Melora: are they exes?

WHERE'S CAW CAW?!

Question for Emily! Love your music and want to start creating some of my own. What direction would you point a youngin in to begin the process of music making? Do you have software recommendations?

How far in the future is balnor?

For murph: what parts of the story are YOU really proud of? Bonus question, do ulfgar and alanis end up together?

#releasetheletter

Emily, what other 'missed' opportunities in the campaign made you cry in grocery store parking lots?

Emily, if Jake won't #releasetheletter, can you at least tell us if you cried after you read it?

Murph, I'm listening to the early campaign again and it's just so good. My question is did you always plan for Balnore to have this backstory or wish he meant to be just another NPC who became so much more? Love the show guys.

What ever happened to Stunk Bug and HardJuan?

Would you, Murph, have done the Thiala fight differently if you'd have known how much fucking damage Hardone would've pumped out? And for all - who has been your favourite antagonist in the campaign from a narrative standpoint and from a mechanical side when you were fighting them (or playing them, for Murph) Thanks for the great campaign, once again!

Emily, can you tell us about that beautiful song you wrote for the very end of episode 100? It brought me to tears in the best of ways! Additionally, where can I find it so I can listen to it later? Stay safe friends <3

#RELEASETHELETTER !!!!!

Murph, now that the campaign is over be honest, have you ever fudged a roll?

Knowing how it all turned out in the end, are there any big choices or events that you wish had played out differently? Any rolls that you wish had been better? Kinda like a Nannerfly Effect Part 2?

I listened to the first episode before I watched the livestream, and it was nice to see where y’all ended up! Was the ending anywhere at all where you thought you’d end up when you started?

Please please do an alternate timeline campaign that is set in Balnors world! 😁😁😁

Murph, was there any locations, encounters, items or NPCs you planned, but the players didn't run into?

Pleaseeee Jake, share the letter that Hardwon wrote to Moonshine. Pleaseeeeee!

I would love to hear you all discuss Beverly's prejudice of Moonshine throughout the campaign. He had a very Ron Weasley level of racism/classism that I kept thinking of during the campaign. It wasn't malicious, but innate based on upbringing. Would you all be willing to discuss that?

I absolutely love the music that Emily has written for the show! Thank you for creating such amazing art your so talented! My question is out of all the music created for naddpod does anyone have a couple of favorites and could explain why they are your favorites? Like do some of the songs send you back to a specific moment or feeling? They are all so great I'm just curious which ones hit the hardest and for who!

Murph - Is there something that didn't come up in the campaign because either the Boobs missed it or took a different path than you expected?

if you hadn’t played the characters you did, what would you have played instead??

who is your favorite villager on animal crossing lol Bella is mine :D

For the BOB, I just rewatched some of my favorite episodes of fantasy high and was wondering what their thoughts on the Bad Kids would be. Conversely for the Bad Kids present what would their thoughts on the BOB be?

If you can change something that happened in the campaign what would it be? How do you think it would have effected the ending? Also you guys are amazing and I can’t express how thankful I am that I found this podcast!!

Fantastic finale! While I'm sad to leave this universe behind, it feels like a complete story and was really wonderful. Question for Murph: when did the endgame plan take shape for you? I remember you saying around episode 75 that we were nearing the end, but did you have the last quarter of the campaign set by then? I was expecting the final battle to come up within 5-10 episodes of then so was very happy to get more naddpod with the adventures in the Nine Hells, the horsemen, the hellfire crown debacle, and the dragon pocket plane before the final showdown.

When is campaign 2 coming out give or take

Which modules and supplements do your recommend most for DMs? Also what if any resources do you recommend for home brewing items and npcs?

Murph, do you have any info about The Giant Wars and what might possibly happen with Hill Giants and Frost Giants in Bahumia post-Thiala?

Question for Murph specifically. Were there any hidden cheats or secret rooms you had laid out during the campaign that were missed completely?

What would have happened if it ended up being a full party kill? Like, if moonshine and bev couldn’t get to hardwon and heal him as much as they did? Or would you (Murph) have done something to make that not happen? Also, can we have Caldwell draw up this paw paw tattoo so fans can get it if they want??? #releasetheletter 😘🎉😽

Do you feel there is any unfinished business that wasn't settled by the end of the campaign?

Release the letter

Hey gang! Thank you for an excellent first season. Question for Daddy Murph! A lot of DMs find it hard to make the game exciting with high level characters. Do you have any tips or tricks to make the game fun when the players are literal gods?

Can we possibly get an epilogue for Ulfgar and Alanis? I ship those two so hard!

Now that there's been some time since the finale, was there anything you wish you would have had the opportunity to do in the campaign? Anywhere from an NPC/side-quest thing to a spell you never got to cast. For Murph, were there any settings or NPCs you didn't get to use that you wanted to?

Hi, question for Murph. Did you come up with any other details or story for Aryox, the third member of the Melora and the Glittering Lady trio?

Have Caldwell, Emily, or Jake decided on a class for the next campaign?

Apart from Pawpaw and Balnor, which NPC are you going to miss the most?

What are y’all most excited for with Campaign 2 on the horizon?

For Murph: I was really surprised the final battle came down to an actual contest of strength. Did you ever consider making the fight against Thiala more task based, like they had to figure out away to remove all the gems from her before she became vulnerable? Or did you always want it to be a classic showdown of power? Thanks and love show.

For Murph: was there ever a plan to bring in some of the guest characters like Mavris or Apple to the final episode. Not even in battle but there in the background watching?

First I wanna ask: If you told the Murph in 2012 that walked 50 miles from Manhattan to New Jersey that he was going to DM a successful dungeons and dragons podcast, what would he say? Second question: In the next Naddpod campaign what new wizards of the coast content do you plan on using? I know you used the older unearthed arcana for the the circle of spores Druid subclass. (They’ve now nerfed it)New unearthed arcana has psionics, there’s Matt Mercer’s new book and a new book coming in June.

Can we have a lil epilogue for Tonathon please?

any roses and thorns for overall roleplaying and embodying your characters?

For Murph - how do you keep track of voices and personalities for all the supporting characters, especially those that may have a significant amount of time between appearances?

Is there any interest in trying out different systems for one shots (or maybe even a whole campaign) at some point in the future? Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, GURPS, there's a lot of options out there and it could be neat to see.

What was your character’s favorite moment in the campaign

Murph, can you give us the Story of Balnor? Break down how you created him, how he evolved over time, and when did he go from just a Knight Card to an integral part of the story? I'm sure it's been discussed in some Short Rests, but I think a full coverage of his rise from a card to Titan is fitting for our favorite Time Traveling Dad.

Uh oh! Balnor pulls a Doc Brown and suddenly time-slides into the Jambourine... in a DnDeLorean! What Boobs-To-The-Future-2 catastrophe is he back to warn you about in 30 years?? Does “something need to be done about the Boobs KIDS???” A Campaign after the Campaign... after the Campaign?

1 question and 1 comment: This is for Brian and Emily, what's it like working so closely with your spouse? You guys seem to work so seamlessly together on many different projects, does it ever become difficult because of your relationship? Have there been times where it's been hard? 1 point I want to make is that in episode 99 short rest, I don't think Murph was given enough credit. Everyone talks about how amazing the moments were between Moonshine and MeeMaw and Hardwon and Jaina etc. were but none of these scenes work if Murph isn't incredible. You really make this show amazing man, and it's spoiled me to the point that I can't really listen to other DMs on podcasts because they aren't as good as you. Thank you for everything!

Can you post your character sheets?

#Releasetheletter

For everyone - were you ever tempted to (or even worse, did you?!) fudge a dice roll for the sake of the narrative?

If you had to pick your least favorite moment to roleplay what would it be

Do you plan to revisit the BoBs in mixed bags? Like Balnor’s radio show where you can have everyone give life updates in character?

Daddy Murph, what’s your favourite way to play NPC companions, using monster or player stats?

Will there be a campaign after the campaign after the campaign featuring new characters and Bev, Hardwon, And Moonshine taking on the positions of Ulfgar and Alanis?

Jake, how has your perception of DnD changed after going from a zero-time player to a two year vet?

Does Jake consider playing a class with spellcasting abilities? I believe in you, Jake!

For anyone: Do you have a favorite quote from an NPC or even another player character Favorite arch of the campaign? Favorite return of an old character?

*moving forward to campaign two

When did the BoB keep it the lightest of all?

Had you considered playing a one-shot down the line based around ‘The Battle of Balnor’ and how he saves his village, or do you think it’s much stronger narratively kept as a mystery?

#Releasetheletter I feel like there's so many questions other people might answer. But what moments really surprised or moved you most during the campaign? And I'm interested to know what you as both roleplayers and DM might do differently moving forward to campaign - about how you play, write, or just anything campaign one has taught you? 😊 Particularly for Jake, with it being his first ever D&D game.

Question for both Murph: what, if anything, do you think Caldwell has taught you about DMing?

A few questions; will you be releasing the music from the campaign as albums on spotify or google play music? What are the roses and thorns for the whole series? if you could go back and replay the campaign again, what would you do differently?

When do we get more DMily?!

How much of the "math" and combat is cut out in the editing? For example we rarely see Jake use absorb elements, his thunderstep etc unless it's story relevant, Are the other times edited out? Also how much time do you guys spend doing math and release the math cut guys

Murph, is there any specific things that you planned for the campaign at large that shifted or completely changed over time? If so, what caused you to change it?

Will the band of boobs be back in campaign two as background characters

Post-credits, did Moonshine and Shae ever hook up?

The Naddpod movie: live action or animated?

For all the players, did you have plans for your character arcs or did they happen organically? If you had plans, did they stay the same or change?

Emily, in episode 21 short rest you joke about using chill touch on Thiala, when did you gain the foresight ability and how often do you use it?

Last question. Can we get the song "one big bed" with all of you singing on Spotify?

If you were to do a second Nannerfly Effect tour what moments what you choose to base the shows on?

Murph, was there anyone other than Galad that you were thinking about bringing into the final showdown?

#releasetheletter

emily, do you regret taking a level of barbarian earlier on, since you weren’t able to get the level 20 bonus for druid’s??

For everyone: What lessons did you learn from the first campaign that will you take with you to the second?

First of all, congratulations for the campaign! I have been a fan for so long and talked the ear off of so many friends that they starting following too!! For Murph, I would like how did you balance and justify the vision you had for the campaign and your storytelling with the fact that this was also a podcast? Do you think you would gave DM`ed differently if this was a regular campaign? And for Emily Jake and Caldwell at what point in the campaign you think you fully were into your characters? And which changes in your characters surprised you the most along the way? Thanks again for all these years and you all rock! =)

Thank you so much for being the reason I got back into dnd more than a year ago! It's truly the one hobby keeping me sane these days! Looking back on the campaign, what's one storyline or complement that happened offscreen that you would have liked to have seen the perspective of an NPC for? Love and appreciate y'all; can't wait for campaign 2crew!

Are there any feats you guys had wished you gotten to play with? Murph, are there any monsters you wish you'd gotten a chance to introduce to the campaign?

also- #releasetheletter

for our Dungeon daddy, what is the most surprising character moment that happened?

#releasetheletter. I want to hear everyone’s letters

Did the way your characters develop match the way you thought they might unfold at the start of the campaign? What moments do you think were pivotal in changing the directions youe characters developed?

Caldwell, how do you think Beverly will respond when he learns about his newfound agelessness? What impact do you think this will have on his and Erlin's relationship? It seems likely that he will retain a youthful body as Erlin continues to age normally.

Looking back over the course of campaign one was there anything that surprised you about the outcome of your character? Was this ending what you initially envisioned?

What class do each of you want to play in the next campaign? Thanks for everything you all do!

When will we get a Balnor defends his village seven samurai (well maybe 4 samurai) style one shot?

When is Jake going to DM plz?

What are your thoughts on me getting a mailman paw paw tattoo?

For the band, what is the biggest what if? you've got for making a different choice or getting a different roll making you wonder who you could've been?

Was there a point in the campaign where an important even happened while playing that was later not included? Character death, NPC Death, multiclass decision, went back and killed a guy on take 2.

Release the letter you viper #releasetheletter

Thank you all for this incredible journey. Roses to you all. I happen to notice a similarity between Balnor Trunks from DBZ, lovable daddy Murphy are there any other subtle subconscious influences you didn't notice until after recording was done?

Just as a general question for everyone if you have one what is your favorite / most memorable moment that you had as the band of boobs

Are there any locations in Bahumia that you new about and would have loved to explore more deeply pre-calamity? Also give Murph a fucking oscar for that letter at the end.

I just got all of the new posters in the store, and it kinda got me thinking. If you were to do a recklessly radical road trip around Bahumia, what places would you want to hit and in what order?

If you could get anyone to direct a big-budget Hollywood movie adaptation of the Bahumia campaign, who would it be?

1) I want to hear everyone’s proudest moments of the campaign for bev, hardwon, and moonshine 2) what moments did y’all laugh the hardest in the entire campaign 3) #releasetheletter

Do any of you feel like this pod has grown your skills as improvisers or story tellers?

Will we ever get post campaign content to check in on the band of boobs? Perhaps a quest to save the mole people?

Had the crew not been able to pick a specific boon from Murph what other gifts do you think would have fit your characters other than the ones you ultimately chose and got?

My dearest Boobs congrats on your quest coming to its rightful and well deserved End!!! Question for Emily: Being that Moonshine and Hardwon both survived and will be returning to the Crick— How is moonshine going to reconcile with Hardwon’s mortality? If she takes timeless body, and Bev is an Undying Sentinel, what happens to Hardwon? Will she use magic and true resurrections to keep him around?

Question for the DM what did you have prepared if the Band of Boobs failed?

For Jake: what was your overall experience? From episode 1 to 100, you have gone full send in making Hardwon come alive. How has that process been for you? For all of you, thank you greatly for creating a world and characters that were able to move me, and I bet others as well, so emotionally.

Would you guys potential give an epilogue of some of your guest characters? Even if its just a quick message or text post from siobhan or zack or nathan about what their new role in the world has become would be awesome. also politics question. now that Urdan is gone does that make MawMaw now fully in charge of Gladeholm?

Question for Murph & Caldwell: What advice would you give new DMs when planning for a new campaign? I'm about to start planning my first campaign where one of my players will be playing an awakened goose. 😅

Will you guys be releasing a module of the campaign? I'd LOVE to take my friends on a crazy adventure across Bahumia!!!

#ReleaseTheLetter Also, now that with the Covid-19 stuff requiring you guys to use Zoom, would you guys ever consider playing with patrons? Maybe a once a quarter one off or few sessions type thing? I know it isn't a question about campaign 1, but it would be incredible to get to play with any of the 4 of you!

What did everyone's letters say that they hid in the contingency cubby?! When will Emily's One Big Bed song be released on Spotify? What is everyone's (including Murph) biggest regrets in the campaign. IC or OOC.

RELEASE THE LETTER CUT

Will we get an update of everyone at NEXT year's Jamboreen?

On campaign two, would anyone consider playing a more uncommon race? Like a Bullywug or a Kobold? Sending love! #releasetheletter

#releasetheletter

I feel like you guys all put a lot of yourselves into your characters (in the most beautiful way) but how do you plan to create new characters that can become as iconic as our boobs, but also be their own?

Question for Murph: now that the campaign’s over, were there ever opportunities to deviate from the path the Band of Boobs would eventually follow? Looking back, the only locale change that felt like a true “choice” on behalf of the Boobs came when they decided to go to Frostwind over Irondeep, while the rest felt like very natural progressions into one another (Moonstone-Galaderon-Crick, Frostwind-Fae Wild-Shadowfell-Gladehome, etc) Obviously looking back I can’t imagine any other story just because of how wonderfully things progressed and were eventually tied up, but I was curious if there were any potential branches down this path that got lopped off along the way

I have lots of questions 1. Can you walk us through the timeline of leveling up between like episodes 96-100? And did they get leveled down when the divine hearts were removed? 2. What level druid is MeeMaw? Has it stayed the same throughout the whole campaign? 3. Did Stunkbug and Apple and Mavrus and other pcs survive the cataclysm? 4. Will you ever do a sort of epilogue like years down the line or even centuries? 5. Does Bev like, go back to school now? What happens to him? Hardwon and moonshine can just sorta chill and live their lives, but Bev is just a kid. 6. When are you gonna release the rest of the live shows? 7. Can we do a one shot following Balnor's battle with the hounds? Maybe he can use his skills to like train a small militia in the village or something so it won't be attacked again? 8. What do Ulfgar and Alanis do now that they don't need to be in hiding or anything? Do they finally get together? 9. Will Martha Toegold remarry? 10. Is there anything that could be done to hardwon to make him live as long as Bev and moonshine? 11. Where is deadeye nw? 12. Did Jake not realize that we would not rest until we knew the contents of his letter? Also, Murph should write a fantasy series because he is crazy good at world building and all of his scripted parts sounds like they come out of a very good book. Would he ever consider writing one?

1. As a DM I'm still in awe that Murph threw the deck of many things into the campaign. What would you all have done if you hadn't been so lucky with the rolls? Would there have been a quest to retrieve Hardwon from another dimension or would Jake have rolled a new character? 2. Fuck marry kill Glittering Lady, Luna, Egwene 3. #releasetheletter

Murph, did you always intend to introduce Balnor (or another long term NPC)? He obviously started as a companion of the boobs, was the purpose of this the increase the size of the party, increase the DMs enjoyment, add something to the party that you thought would improve the enjoyment of the players or add an element to the podcast? I ask, because I am an aspiring DM (mostly out of necessity) but don't have many friends to play with and adding a companion character may mean I get to play more often. Also, #releasetheletter ❤️

If there was a big budget movie/TV show of campaign one who would you want to play your characters? And same with the other major characters like who would you want to play galad, or mi ma

Hey Murph would ever consider doing a villains campaign or even just a mixed bag as monster races?

What was the most difficult/most fun parts about playing your characters?

What was in Hardwon's letter to Moonshine? #releasetheletter

This may have been explained already, but when the Fae Eladrin came to help fight the God Husks, what happened to them afterwards? Did they remain in Bahumia or were they transported back to the Fae Wild?

What is the best/silliest ship that never was?

A question for Murph: All of the elements of the epilogue were so beautiful and perfect. I imagine the alternative ending should the boobs have failed or taken heavy casualties would have been gut wrenching. Could you let us know what the consequences of that would have been?

Question for Murph! My friend and I are putting together a Norse/Elderscrolls inspired campaign. My friends are all in Oklahoma and I'm in Nevada, is there any advice you can give us to help our long distance and totally awesome campaign? Thanks for keeping it light guys!! We love you!!

#releasethelettercut

What is the iconic line or catphrase of the campaign?

1. We've heard about Emily's plans for the Thiala fight, but have there been any other occurrences of people actively planning for specific combats out of character? 2. What's the timeline on the Legendary Heroes' adventuring like? How long before the campaign was the War Against Asmodeus?

Hey Murph! Did you know what the Boobs were going to do with Thiala's divine hearts? Did you have a plan if they wanted to give them to Alanis and Ulfgar, or give Melora a second heart? And for the Boobs: did you know what you wanted to do with the divine hearts before you went into the final fight? Were there any other options you considered?

Will you do a bonus episode where you do the mole peoples' quest?

Since I’m a hopeless romantic, what do you guys think became of Ulfgar and Alanis? Did something more become of their awkward flirting?

TURDIS. Now that I have your attention, who was everyone’s favorite villain? & who was everyone’s favorite side character?

#releasetheletter

What roll will Pendergreens have in the new one hells while he waits for the crown to digest?

What other classes do you think the characters could've started out as? Any multi-class options you guys thought about but ended up not doing?

Are there any loose ends you wish you got to tie up? Any NPCs you wanted to go back to or hoped you’d see again that didn’t appear in the last few episodes? I’ve been listening since the beginning and you guys have truly brought me so much joy, thank you. And #RELEASETHELETTER

For all, do you have a big rose or big thorn for the campaign overall? For all, how has Bahumia changed you as a player or DM, if at all? Emily, that song was dope. You're so fun to listen to as a player! #releasetheletter

Hey guys! I have a question for you all: have you read the fanfiction about your characters? Or is that something you are considering now that it’s #3moremonths? (At least for Emily, Murphy & Caldwell-quarantine). Hope ya’ll are staying safe.

@everyone Murph has said before how he mostly just plays NPCs for the greatest literary effect, but do you guys sometimes have that moment of forgetting that a character is obviously Murph?

Are you at all concerned that some of the results of the campaign(reintroducing Dragons to Bahumia, destabilizing the governments of Ezry and Galaderon, the lack of heir to the throne of Frotstwind) will cause another group of adventurers to have to go on a campaign after the campaign after the campaign like you all did? (PS thank you for a finale so beautiful that I cried multiple times)

If you were to create an epilogue for each of the PC and important NPCs, what would they be?

For all: what was the hardest choice or decision your character had to make? For Murph: what player decisions changed the direction of the campaign from where you thought it was going?

Jake now that you have had a little taste for magic would you ever want to play a partial caster class such as an arcane fighter or paladin?

Only question I have is What. Was. In. Hardwon's. Letter. To. Moonshine!?

You have only one rose and one thorn for the whole campaign. What are those moments?

Jake, in the next campaign would you consider playing the resulting child of Hardwon and Shivel's one time snogging?

Thank you BOB for a wonderful conclusion! Did Ulfgar and Alanis end up together? Is Lenny and Denny kind of like Naruto and Boruto? And what happened to the Gnomes during the Apocalypse? #ReleaseTheLetter

Why wasn't Hugo at the Thiala fight? I'm sure you reached out--nay--begged Amir to be in the last episode; was he too busy? Will Hugo be living alongside Hardwon and Moonshine in the Crick?

Are there bagels in Bahumia? I just started 8BBC after Saturday and I thought, what if the boobs were super into bagels instead of sliders?

Jake since this was your first time playing how has the overall experience been for you, were you surprised at how much you loved hardwon? And second what would your advice or tips to any newbie hardwons of the world? Thank you guys sooo much for all this so far. And Murph I think I like bahumia more than Lord of the rings so please keep creating you frickin knob

Murphy, what an amazing take you've woven. Not only that, but breathing so much life into so many NPCs and Balnor as well. How do you keep track of all the different voices you've used throughout the campaign?

Hi gang! $1,000,000 or 1,000,000,000 batches of hemp milk?

Could we get an epilogue for the guest appearances as well? I would like to know what happened to Stunkbug, Tonathan, Apple and Mavris.

Question for Caldwell, where do you think Bev and Erlin will end up? Scooping any youngins in the future for them?

If you guys could have chosen a different ability to gain when you became titans what would you have chosen?

The campaign obviously felt very whole at the end and I don't think there were really any lost leads, but are there any rabbit holes you wish you could have gone down or threads you wish you could have pulled either in a wild, loose way for the bants or because you just would have loved to explore them as part of the story? Same vein for Murph, is there anything you had ideas for that the party didn't explore that you wish you had a chance to build?

This question I'd for everyone. If you could start the campaign over, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?

@murph was Balnor always supposed to be a plot device, or did he evolve into one?

Question for Murph if Balnor had died in episode 98 would you have brought him back at the end with an Alanis wish spell? Or would it just be a sad Balnor ending?

roses and thorns for the community, and other things that naddpod has created beyond just the show. such as fanart, the reddit, live shows, fan interactions and other things like that

Jake- Been re-listening and in episode one Emily says something to the effect of “you’re gonna be good at this”. Fast forward to the finale where Hardwon totally decimates Thiala. What has the journey been like going from never playing before to being what I’m assuming is a full time job?

During your next campaign, would you guys like characters from this campaign (not necessarily main characters) to make cameos?

If any of your characters died(permanently), what would have been your replacement?

Can you talk more about gold dragon Moonshine? I love that moment but it ends too soon when Thiala got eaten.

@murph did you have a plan if the band of boobs lost the final battle? Thank you all for such an incredible campaign. It was a joy to witness the superb storytelling and role playing. Seeing Jake go from a newcomer to D&D to laying down the pain on Theala over the course of 100 episodes was amazing.

What happened to Ezry and Stunkbug post Thiala?

If you could replay one subplot/chapter of the campaign (ex: the fey wild, crick rot, frostwind, etc), which would it be?

Band of Boobs: Starting out did you at all expect your characters to develop the way they did? What aspect of your character arc is the most surprising to each of you looking back? Much love from your 8 bit book bud in Ireland!

Did you make a conscious decision at some point in the campaign to stop using the Kid Cudi song in the solo cup as a running joke, or did it just kind of fizzle out organically? I agree with letting it go so as not to run a joke into the ground, but I was secretly hoping for a little callback in the finale. Maybe in campaign 2?

Murph, we got a fiend from Pandemonium to come to Bahumia at the mage madness tournament. Any thought on sending the BoB to fight through the layers of Pandemonium for a one shot to see how they would do?

With the beginning of a new campaign looming, Murph, what is your process for creating a new world? Where do you draw inspiration, and how do you begin to develop a new location? What sort of material do you draw from? Caldwell, what led you to decide to play a young queer character? You portrayed him so honestly and truthfully, none of Bev’s identity felt forced. As a gay man I appreciated the representation and how real it all felt. Thanks again for everything you all rock!

What happened to the boy king? Was he killed in the purge, was he exiled, or maybe kept as a puppet?

#ReleaseTheLetter!!!!

Mr. Murph, what will happen to the Crimson Dawn once the hellfire crown is fully digested? Will that plane still exist since it was The One Hell before The Dusk Mother took it over?

What are some fun couplings that you guys could think might happen between NPCs in the future? Does Old Cobb find love again? Does Lydia Stormborn get a toy boy? Does Martha Toehold marry Scout Master Denny? Etc

Where do you see Moonshine, Hardwon, and Bev 5 years into their future?

For Murph - At what point in the campaign did you have final boss Thiala fleshed out? Did you accelerate the leveling up of the Boobs to be able to fight your final boss Thiala or did you have wiggle room in the Thiala character design?

How much health total did theala have?

What was the favorite interaction that your character had with Balnor? (the finale was amazing, thank you so much, I cried a lot)
